“The Ito family?!”When Cadfan heard those words, he immediately cursed coldly, “D*mn it! That godd*mned Ito Yahiko is not worthy at all. When we were initially planning to choose between the Ito family and the Takahashi family back then, he only knew how to kiss ass and try to get into our good books all the time! Now that the Matsumoto and Takahashi family are done for, he has suddenly become so powerful! This is simply ridiculous!”The ocean shipping industry was one of the most profitable industries at the moment. If a large container ship were to run on a European or American route with a full load, one container freight would cost about twenty to thirty thousand dollars, and a single trip would already generate an income of at least tens of millions of dollars’ worth in freight.The Schulz family owned the largest transportation fleet in Oskia. As long as these ships were running, they would be able to generate extremely high profits. Therefore, this was definitely the core an

Sheldon said awkwardly, “Dad, Jaime has just gone to Aurous Hill. If we were to change our minds at this time, it will certainly be a huge blow to his enthusiasm. After all, he truly likes Quinn Golding very much.”“Hm…” Cadfan smacked his lips together before he said, “You can ask Jaime to continue trying to pursue Quinn Golding. At the same time, you can try to make an appointment with Ito Yahiko, or you can even try to make an appointment with Ito Nanako directly to see if they will agree to a face-to-face meeting with us. At most, we can give them a bigger share of the profits. As long as they are willing to establish a joint-venture with us and help us revitalize our business, we can give 20% of the total shares and profits from the joint-venture to them.”Sheldon nodded in agreement before he said, “Dad, I will talk to the Ito family first. If it is possible, I will try to make an appointment with them as soon as possible.”“Okay!”***At this time, Tokyo, Japan.It was a b

When Kurenai saw Nanako’s desperate attempt to cover up, Kurenai sighed before she said helplessly, “Miss Nanako, if I could put a mirror in front of you now, you would understand that you are truly the worst liar in this whole world!”Nanako’s face flushed red out of embarrassment at this time, and she immediately said in a faltering manner, “I am not… I really… I…”“Alright, alright…” Kurenai said helplessly, “Miss Nanako, I am just your assistant, so you don’t need to put in so much effort to lie to me. However, I hope that your acting will not be as bad when you are facing Charlie…”Nanako could not hide her embarrassment, and she said, “Sorry, Kurenai. I actually…”As she spoke, Nanako suddenly felt a little speechless. She sighed helplessly before she said, “Sigh. I don’t want to talk about it anymore. Thank you for your reminder. Please help me put Momotaro into the airbox and remember to feed it some water beforehand. We will be taking the helicopter to the airport in a sho

However, Kurenai also had her own concerns.She was worried that Nanako would enjoy herself too much and forget about everything else after she saw the man that she was in love with upon arriving in Aurous Hill.Many, especially capable and promising people, would often lose their morale and pursuit in life because of the person that they loved.Therefore, Kurenai was also afraid that Nanako would not want to return to Japan anymore after going to Aurous Hill.However, Kurenai did not dare to express her worry because she was afraid that she would leave a psychological hint on Nanako as soon as she said it. So, she said, “Miss Nanako, I will go and settle Momotaro down first. After that, I will come and meet you again when I am ready.”Nanako looked at the time before she said, “You don’t need to come and find me again. The helicopter will take off in twenty minutes. We can just meet on the tarmac.”“Okay, Miss Nanako! I will go over there first!”After Kurenai had left, Nanako’

Since Yahiko wanted to bring his loyal subordinate, Tanaka, and his sister, Emi, to Aurous Hill with him, Nanako hurriedly delayed the flight’s departure time. At the same time, she also canceled her plan to take a helicopter to the airport.It would not be comfortable and convenient for Yahiko and Hiroshi, who had had both of their legs amputated, to take a helicopter. So, Nanako rearranged for a fleet of cars to send them to the airport, and she also brought the assistants and servants that they needed with them to Aurous Hill. About ten of them headed to the Tokyo Airport by car.In order to take care of her father, Nanako shared the same car with Yahiko. As the car was making its way to the airport, Nanako was already excited.When Nanako thought about how she would be arriving in Aurous Hill where Charlie lived in a few hours, Nanako wanted to call him immediately and tell him about this news.However, Nanako did not want her purpose and intention for going to Aurous Hill to b

Kurenai began explaining in detail. “Miss Nanako, the Schulz family’s shipping license has been revoked because they caused a catastrophic event in Oskia. Now, they have a large number of transport ships that can only be anchored at the ports. They cannot make any profits at all. They intend to set up a joint venture company with us. However, we do not need to contribute anything to this partnership at all. We simply need to help them obtain the shipping license in Japan, and they will deal with everything else. They are also willing to give us 20% of the profits from the joint venture.”Nanako could not help but ask in surprise, “They are willing to give us 20% of the profits just like that?! Is the Schulz family truly that generous?”Kurenai said, “That is what Sheldon Schulz said over the phone. He also said that there is still room for discussion in terms of the specific proportions of the profits. I personally feel that the Schulz family will not have any opinions at all even if

When Donald received Arrington’s notice, he immediately felt very excited.He had always been very worried about his youngest son, Kian’s condition. However, he also knew very well that Charlie would not heal his youngest son for the time being. So, now that Lord Schulz had invited a top Feng Shui and metaphysics master here, Donald was naturally looking forward to it. He hoped that this top master would be able to help him to resolve this knot in his heart.So, he immediately told Arrington, “Thank you for the notice, Mr. Arrington. I will bring my youngest son over there right now so that Master Mason can have a good look at him to find out the problem with him!”When Arrington heard these words, he hurriedly said, “No, no, no! Don’t do that! Your son has to eat that kind of thing every other hour now, right? I do not know how Master Mason would react if he suddenly sees a scene like that. It will be better for you to come over here by yourself first. After that, you can explain y

Donald sat on the sofa somewhat reluctantly. He was annoyed as he thought to himself, “F*ck! He is nothing more than a lapdog, and he actually dares to be so pretentious in front of me?! He talked so much in such an arrogant manner, but he did not even pour me a glass of water. What a f*cking b*stard!”After half an hour.A convoy of several Rolls-Royces drove through the main gate of the lakeside villa.Cadfan, Sheldon, and Arrington were all waiting at the entrance. As soon as the convoy stopped, Sheldon personally stepped forward to open the rear car door of the second Rolls-Royce.An old man with white hair was sitting in the back seat of the car.This man should be over eight years old now, but he looked very strong, and he did not look like a very old man at all.Sheldon, who was fifty years old, looked at the old man in front of him before he said respectfully, “Hello, Grandpa Mason! It has been a long time since I last saw you!”The old man smiled slightly before he touc

Charlie smiled. "Who, me? You'd laugh at me, but it was only after Steven found me that I learned to drive. I never bought my own car either and only had the two supercars gifted to me, and I only drove those a handful of times at best. Even now, I'm driving the BMW 5-series I bought for my father-in-law."Then, he remembered Marianne Long and said, "I did drive a friend's Tesla back to Hong Kong, but it was only for a short time, and I didn't manage to look into their so-called assisted driving system."Yolden thought about it and smiled, "But y'know… how would I describe the car, specifically? Have you heard of Mario Balotelli, the soccer player?"Every man present aside from Keith nodded—Mario had been a philosopher on the soccer field, and even those who didn't watch soccer were familiar with his name.Nodding, Yolden continued, "The way I see it, Mario has been a player with top-class hardware but third-rate software. Give him Messi or Ronaldinho's intelligence, and he'd be a

Kaeden then asked, "Well, professor, how do you suppose we overtake the competition at turning points? Or indeed, what qualifies as succeeding in that respect?"Yolden thought about it, formulating his words before explaining, "My personal understanding of the matter isn't simply to aim for turning points. Instead, it's things like staying on the inner lane of the race track and reaching the finish line faster by going where no other race car had gone before—or indeed where people never thought to go before."That's the case for new energy cars. Our fossil fuel energies have constantly lost to other countries and would always come up short. But with new energy cars, we can change the rules altogether."We can't catch up to their engine tech? Then we won't—there's no way they are masters in electric-powered engines, are they? They've spent decades on internal combustion engines and haven't the first clue about electric-powered engines."So, while everyone hasn't turned all their foc

The Ackers were really interested in Yolden's perspective.For their family, investing in the new energy automotive industry wasn't meant to make money—they simply intended to add to Oskia's strength as a manufacturer.But with Yolden's input, they had new things to look forward to.If they really could propel their business to giants like Tesla, opportunities and profits would go without saying—there was also no question that it supported and improved Oskia's local car industry and manufacturing sector.Giants in the manufacturing sector were different from online giants, as the latter often enforced a stranglehold monopoly. Before they had the monopoly, they would be offering perks and subsidies to the market, and when they gained sufficient customers and consumer faith, they would start choking the market for profits.To put it in perspective, a five-mile Uber ride would cost five bucks before, and the driver would be paid ten for it. But after Uber got the monopoly, the rider

Charlie hadn't thought about that and was therefore surprised.When he returned from the States, the Ackers were just planning to found a new automotive brand powered by new energy.And they were ready to acquire one now?With that in mind, he quickly asked, "Uncle Kaeden, do you mean to say that you've already acquired one?""Yes," Kaeden nodded. "There's this company having trouble with capital, and their founding directors were looking for financiers wherever they could reach. I bumped into their CEO in Eastcliff by chance myself and discussed it with Christian—we both decided to acquire it for 3 billion USD since it's really not that much."Charlie nodded—3 billion really wasn't much, even for himself, let alone the Ackers.That was when Yolden couldn't resist asking, "Mr. Kaeden, could you perhaps be referring to Godot Autos?""Why, yes," Kaeden replied, surprised. "Are you perhaps familiar with them?"Yolden nodded. "I have heard of them and that they were in trouble with

Charlie smiled. "All is well. Aurous Hill is a safe place."And with that, he introduced Yolden to his maternal grandparents, who were enthusiastic to learn that he was a classmate of Ashley's.As the family invited Yolden to take his seat, Keith told his sons, "Be sure to make our guest feel at home—the professor was your sister's old friend, after all."Then, turning to Yolden, he said, "Do drink more if you can, but feel free to refuse if you can't. We're not that strict with drinking around here."Yolden could stomach his alcohol despite rarely drinking, and he did not hesitate to agree to drink with them, seeing that it was a pleasant evening for the Ackers.Keith then turned to Charlie, "You drink too, boy. Just ask your aunt to drive you home later."Charlie smiled. "It's alright, Gramps. Everyone on this hill is a friend—I'll ask Don Albert to send a car."Keith laughed heartily. "Wonderful! I shall drink with you too!""Really?" Holly quickly interrupted. "Did you get

Yolden didn't go into detail despite apologizing, as he was sure the Ackers would understand, so he didn't have to rub it in twice.However, it had been twenty years since Ashley's passing, and they certainly could take a brief mention in stride. That was why none of them found it offensive, especially since Ashley and Yolden were good friends and classmates.Charlie was just going to introduce Yolden, and so he said, "Yolden, I'm sure you recognize Uncle Kaeden? He often makes public appearances."Yolden nodded. "Yes, it's only natural. Your reputation precedes you, Mr. Acker!"Kaeden politely replied. "You flatter me, Professor Hart."After a brief handshake, Charlie moved on to the others and was surprised when he arrived at Merlin as Yolden spoke before he could, "This must be Chief Merlin Lammy, pride of the Oskians! I've seen your interviews and articles, and I really admire you!"Merlin smiled humbly. "I'm just a police chief—nothing to be proud about. The rest of you have

Yolden was inwardly relieved, hearing that Charlie really didn't mind revealing himself to his future wife and stepson. He had led a down-to-earth life and earnestly loved Matilda and wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.That was why he hoped that whenever they mentioned Charlie, Matilda wouldn't merely think of Jacob Wilson's son-in-law, who had coincidentally met some locally influential figures through his feng shui business.He was rather bad at pretending and even worse at lying.Still, he would have understood and respected Charlie's decision if the latter had refused, and he was therefore surprised Charlie had agreed to it so easily.Naturally, he was not aware that Charlie intended to take his new family under his wing and was happily riding shotgun as Charlie drove up to the Champ Elys villa.Keith Acker and the rest of his family were already there waiting, and Charlie's three uncles, aunt, and Merlin were outside to receive them.Keith and Holly would have

Yolden then asked, "By the way, there's something I'd like your opinion for.""Do tell," Charlie replied politely."Autumn and I know who you really are," Yolden said. "But that's not the case for Matilda or Paul… Well, Paul's smart, so even if he had no idea who you are specifically, he'd still have a hunch that you're someone incredibly wise and influential. That's why he really respects and worships you."Pausing, he then continued, "Well, now that Matilda and I are going to start a new family, I hope that I can be honest with her in every way possible as her husband. However, I still think I should ask about your opinion when it comes to your identity, so if you think I can tell Paul and Matilda, I'll find a time to tell them. But if you think I shouldn't, Autumn and I will understand and respect that."Charlie was actually surprised that Yolden would ask permission over something like that, and it made him even more sure about Yolden's personality.When it comes to the reall

Charlie chuckled. "Don't sell yourself short, Mr. Hart. There are plenty of business folk who got so used to their comfort zone that they became caught in the illusion that they can be successful in anything they do. It's a mindset that leads to them blindly developing new projects and new competition, and then they end up losing big."If memory serves, there have been real estate businesses that started mineral water brands, search engines that tried the car industry, e-commerce sites attempting social media, and vice-versa. All of them are multi-billion-dollar companies venturing into new frontiers, but all to unimpressive outcomes."Pausing, Charlie then continued, "You've mentioned rising above the competition amidst the development of the new energy industry. That would get anyone's attention, and it is why I believe that you definitely will make a strong impression with your strategizing and knowledge of the basic principles."Yolden found it hard to refuse, seeing that Charli
